super sustainable city is an ongoing project that has been organized by swedish firm
kjellgren kaminsky architecture for the city of gothenburg.

it is predicted that by 2020 the city of gothenburg will grow with 8000 new inhabitants
per year. in order to accommodate this increase careful planning of houses and facilities
need to be considered. the development they proposed would house one third of the estimated
city growth until 2020, forming a strong connection between the riversides. roofs of residences
can be used for leisure, agriculture and solar power. the roofs are terraced to the south so
that people, plants and solar panels will have more sun and the apartments will need less
heating and lighting.
